Wow! That is one horrible list! Pop song - polyphonic chant - pop song - polyphonic chant - pop song, etc, and then, outta no where, the shuffle decides that it is not the iTunes on Padre's computer at la oficina, but Fred Schwarz's Early 1970's shuffle! 'sup wid dat? AND TO MAKE THINGS EVEN WORSE there isn't even one estadoünidense act on the entire list, and it's Día de Independencia en los Estados Unidos de América! THAT'S NOT RIGHT!! So, we'll try again, and use Matty Boy's method of skipping over everything that is not estadoünidense.
We pushes "shuffle" and takes control, like good 'Muricans:
1. Every Time I feel The Spirit The Pilgrim Travellers
2. Lookin' For Another Pure Love Stevie Wonder
3. Mother's Last Word to Her Son Washington Phillips
4. Western Wall Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris

8. Sweet Spirit Kirk Franklin and God's Property
9. Teenage Lobotomy RAMONES!!!!
10. Love To Burn Neil Young and Crazy Horse

Okay, THAT's more like it! Wow! I didn't realize how Brit-and-Latin-American-heavy my iTunes collection is. The majority of the U.S.A.ian artists on my iTunes are Gospel Musicians, or at least that is the impression one would get from this shuffle list. Makes ya think, huh? Makes ya think that I'm sure glad that God made the Ramones and that they were estadoünidense. Now go eat some hot dogs. And then post your own Top Ten in the comments.

Were you making editorial comments on the events of the week? "Barbara Anne (or Bomb Iran)" and "Happiness Is A Warm Gun?"
Kewl!
Actually, I threw in Barbara Ann for the summer along with Surfin USA. IF you haven't seen The Endless Summer it is great! Surfing from all over the world.
